[PhilA52]

Hi All
Looking for the front floor mats for my Alpina Roadster
Cotswold bmw tell me they are discontinued, anyone have any ideas where I can get a set from
Many thanks

Try calling Sytner at Leicester. As they are the sole UK Alpina dealers, they should know one way or the other. Deep pockets may be required if you can get some

Part numbers are 51 43 147 and 51 43 148 if that helps

I was trying to get a set too mate, bizarrely they're not discontinued completely you can still get them through Sytner but they only offer them in light grey or beige? I wasn't even aware that they had any Roadster S's with a grey interior? I think I saw that beige may have been a very rare option but I would've thought that black would've been the only colour they wouldn't discontinue and they have?! Im going to try and get mine re-coloured on the diamonds somehow as the mats themselves are ok. Good Luck

Do you think a set of the grey or beige could be dyed to the correct colour?

Didn't realise they are now no longer available and could do with a set for mine too.

Hi Toledo,

I think it would be too tricky to die them with all of the Alpina diamonds across them? I did consider that option too, I think I'm going to try and get the current diamonds re-coloured as there's plenty of wear left in the mats. You can get standard OEM black E85 mats too as i bought a set from Prentice Portadown in NI (but probs still available from any dealer?). It may be an option to get the Alpina pattern added to them in stitching or paint? They do look like the shape may be slightly different in shape to the originals though.... i haven't laid them out next to each other yet.

I'll keep you posted on what I manage to achieve with mine and if I find anywhere decent to complete the stitching or paint.

Cheers

Thanks mate. Yeah you might be right. I’ve got a TR6 that will be going to the trimmers soon for a new interior so I’ll ask them what they think is the best option and report back.

Went to the local arts & craft store and bought a couple of waterproof & permanent marker pens ( nearest in colour) when dry applied coat of Gtechnic Smart Fabric. not perfect but better then before

Excellent work there!
I imagine the rug in the picture took some time, though? :lol: oke:

They've come up nice mate, well done thats a 3rd option for me to try then.

Thanks Buddy
